Tracing an Argument's Path — Homework

Reread this week's excerpt of Susan B. Anthony's speech before answering.

  1. 1.What exact phrase from the Constitution's preamble does Anthony's argument depend on?
  2. 2.Which later step in Anthony's chain would collapse if a listener refused to accept that "the people" includes women?
  3. 3.Why does a chain-style argument fall apart differently than a list of separate reasons would?
  4. 4.In three or more sentences, explain where you think a listener hostile to Anthony's conclusion would most likely attack her chain, and why that link is the weakest point to defend.
